1. A continuously variable transmission system comprising:

  • a continuously variable transmission configured to operate at a gear ratio;

    an acceleration input device configured to detect acceleration input data corresponding to a percent application of the acceleration input device; and

    a processor connected to the continuously variable transmission and the acceleration input device, the processor configured to determine a rate of change in the percent application of the acceleration input device and continuously change the gear ratio at a rate of change that is substantially equal to the rate of change in the percent application of the acceleration input device throughout an entire spectrum of the rate of change in the percent application of the acceleration input device.
